One of the main ideas that the author presents in this paragraph is the need to have "gumption." Gumption refers to a type of resilience or resourcefulness that allows us to navigate the world and fend for ourselves. This is the quality that Baker's mother wanted him to have in order to triumph in the world. This is conveyed throughout the story in various ways. For example, when Baker's mother tells him: "The Lord helps those who help themselves." Baker is tormented by his lack of gumption, and he cannot find a way to be that his mother is happy with. However, this does not stop her. She is determined to help him become more decisive. "She would make something of myself whether I wanted to or not," the author tells us.
